That Hat

Department store windows,
cashmere and corduroy,
aluminum snowflakes on strings.
We move to the next one
and there is the hat you want,
mechanical angels all sing,

Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me.
I wish that I could buy that hat,
if only I had the means.

The next day I come back
alone just to take a look,
the more that I looked I got sad.
But still I rode up
to Apparels-Accessories
thinking of you in that hat.

Blessed be the poor like me
who never have asked for much.
I'm only thinking of the joy
I'll bring to the one I love.

Right there before me
in black felt and velveteen,
I feel my heart start to pound.
The store clerk ignores me
for more well-dressed customers,
the moment that she turns around,

Hark, I hear the angels sing
nobody has to know.
I take the hat under my coat
and pray for my journey home.

I made it home.

Up With Love

Numbers and names in a book,
all those silly flings.
I'm finally, definitely
tired of all those things.
I used to spend my time laughing at love,
cynical and wise, cool in my disguise,
'til the day I looked into your eyes.

Now I say up with love,
I'm so high, and what a perfect view.
Up with love,
the sun shines on everything we do.

City noise, crowded streets,
a whirl of sights and sounds.
You and I walking along,
our feet don't touch the ground.
We'll find that love is much bigger than us,
there's a grand design, it's as old as time,
and it's running through your heart and mine.

And I say up with love,
'cause love is the wonder of the world.
Up with love,
the reason for every boy and girl.
Now that you're here
everything is beautifully clear.
You're the one that I dreamed of,
Up with love.

And it's running through your heart and mine,

now I say up with love,
I'm so high, and what a perfect view.
Up with love,
The sun shines on everything we do.
Make no mistake
we'll leave the stars in our wake
You're the one that I dreamed of
Up with love.

Becoming

Night becomes day,
day becomes brighter and
brighter becomes sun,
sun becomes shine,
shine becomes eyes
become waking,
become thoughts,
become smiles.

And they all become a song,
a song of becoming.
I know you'll be coming
soon.

Day becomes night,
night becomes darkness and
darkness becomes black,
black becomes stars,
stars become moon,
become shadow,
become hush,
become sleep

and sleep becomes dream,
a dream of becoming.
I know you'll be coming soon.
A song, a song of becoming,
I know you'll be coming
soon, my love.

A Few Thousand Days Ago

I fell asleep on the train
with the towering mountains rolling by.
And woke to the sound
of thunder crashing in the sky.
The air was ghostly blue,
the mist was rising slow.
It's still a vivid memory
from a few thousand days ago,
a few thousand days ago.

As we passed through small quiet towns,
crossed miles of burning desert sands
and fields of green and gold,
I began to see and understand
the wonders great and small
that this world has to show
in a way I never had before
a few thousand days ago,
Just a few thousand days ago.

I had made up my mind
it was time to let familiar things fall behind.
I was glad to be all alone
in the middle of the wide unknown.

Through lost empty towns,
across miles of burning desert sands
and fields of green and gold
I began to feel and understand
the wonders great and small
that this world has to show,
like the promise in a new sunrise,
a few thousand days ago,
a few thousand days ago.

Where Am I Going?

Where am I going and what will I find?
Will it only be more of the same?
Just some new fascination that fades over time
and it leaves me to start again.

And why does it seem that for everyone else
it's so easy to love and be loved?
Am I aiming too high or expecting too much?
Is this how it will always be?

And why can't I feel something deeper?
Why can't it be something more?
Why can't I ever find someone?

And when will I
stop chasing things I can't have?
Must I always repeat my mistakes?
Would it kill me to say that I'm losing my way
and that maybe I need to change?

And why can't I feel something deeper?
Why can't it be something more?
And what if I never find someone?
What if I
never find
love?

Western Sky

I was sitting in a bar on the lower east side,
thinking about the western sky,
thinking about my misspent life,
thinking about you.
Canyons and deserts and afternoon showers,
the concert at Red Rocks that went on for hours
and hours and hours and hours
I been thinking about you.

Walking to the L Train, walking back home,
so many people but you're still alone
and after five years I've got nothing to show,
nothing to show

I've got seeds in my pockets,
tokens of affection,
five dollar street sunglasses,
and I'll be fine.
Bits of confetti,
smarts from the Bowery,
and I'm bringing it home to the western sky.

Fran and Mia said they'd help me pack
but I put everything in just one bag,
across the Hudson and I won't look back,
won't look back.
I had stars in my eyes, yeah I believed,
now I'll sleep real good and I won't dream,
I'll throw them all in a mountain stream,
all those dreams.

I've got seeds in my pockets,
tokens of affection,
five dollar street sunglasses,
and I'll be fine.
Bits of confetti,
smarts from the Bowery,
and I'm bringing it home to the western sky.

I've got seeds in my pockets,
Tokens of affection,
five dollar street sunglasses,
Rocky Mountain High.
No time for a__holes,
know the value of a dollar,
it'll stretch so much further
in the western sky.

Seeds in my pockets,
tokens of affection,
five dollar street sunglasses,
and I'll be fine
Bits of confetti,
smarts from the Bowery,
and I'm bringing it home to the western sky.

Sleeper

Don't look much deeper
than a summer shower's latest puddle
for my reflection.
I'm nearly always in a muddle.

You wanted something more,
I wanted something more or less.
You wanted something real,
I wanted something to feel, I guess.

We were a sleeper
in a season that was overrated.
So unexpected,
I always make it complicated.

You wanted something more,
I wanted something more or less there.
But for a moment in time
I really thought we were getting somewhere.

Sleeper

You wanted me to believe,
I only wanted it all to come true.
But at the end of the day
I wish that I could believe like you.

The climb is steeper
than a mountain in the dead of winter.
You know the truth is
at heart I've always been a quitter.

Sleeper,
Quitter,
Sleeper.
